CATERHAM School, in Harestone Valley Road, had another record-breaking year for GCSE results in 2010, with 99 per cent of all examinees getting grades A* to C.

And 91 per cent of grades at the independent school were A* to B, the third consecutive year more than 90 per cent has been achieved in this category, with 70 per cent of all grades A* to A.

Headmaster Julian Thomas said: "It has been another outstanding year for examination results. I am delighted with these GCSE results, which are a testimony to the hard work and commitment of the students and teachers.

"Last year's results were exceptional, so I am particularly pleased to see that the class of 2010 have been able to match their 2009 counterparts

"Once again we have a number of pupils who have achieved outstanding results, but I am equally happy for those pupils who have not received a raft of A*s, but whose performance represents a significant personal achievement."

He added that he wanted to congratulate all pupils for their hard work and endeavour, which was especially important this year as the top-tier universities are now looking at GCSE results to back up high A-level grades.
